ARTICLE 3 DESCRIPTION OF MAINTENANCE SERVICES

3.1. Support Services

During the term of this Maintenance Agreement as set forth in ARTICLE 8 below, Licensor will provide the services described herein so as to maintain the Covered Software in good working order, keeping it free from material defects and Errors so that the Covered Software shall function in accordance with its specifications, the accepted level of performance and Level of Use set forth in the Master Software License Agreement.

3.1.1. Basic Support Response

Licensor will make available to Licensee an email address (the “Support Email”) for Licensee to initiate trouble reports requesting service of the Covered Software. The Support Email is accessible at all times, but requests other than those defined in SECTION 3.2 will be handled between 8:00am and 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5:00), Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays in Maryland and/or the United States. The Support Email can also be used to notify Licensor of problems associated with the Covered Software and related documentation.

3.1.2. Call-In Support Response

Licensor will make available a telephone number (the “Support Center Hotline”) that may be used by any Licensee to report Severity 1 incidents (as defined in SECTION 3.2.1). The Support Center Hotline operates from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5:00), Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays in Maryland and/or the United States. At all other times, the Support Center Hotline is forwarded to a voicemail system that is monitored by an on-call support engineer.

The Support Center Hotline may not be used for Severity 2 or 3 incidents unless the Licensee purchases the Call-In Support Additional Service. Call-In Support contracts run concurrent with the Maintenance Agreement period and entitle the Licensee to designate one or more individuals as Licensee’s Designated Support Liaison(s). The Designated Support Liaison(s) will be allowed to call the Support Center Hotline for incidents of any Severity and to notify Licensor of problems associated with the Covered Software and related documentation.

3.2. Remedial Support

Upon receipt by Licensor of notice from Licensee through the Support Center Hotline or Support Email of an Error, defect, malfunction or nonconformity in the Covered Software, Licensor shall respond as provided below:

3.2.1. Severity 1

A Severity 1 incident is defined as one that produces an emergency situation in which the Covered Software is substantially or completely non-functional or inoperable. Licensee must report Severity 1 incidents to the Licensor by telephone, not by email.

3.2.1.1. Severity 1 RESPONSE

In the case of a Severity 1 incident, a qualified member of Licensor’s staff will respond via telephone to begin to diagnose the problem within one (1) hour. Licensor will devote all reasonable resources and use its best efforts to resolve Severity 1 problems as quickly as possible. The resolution will be delivered to Licensee as a work-around or as an emergency software fix. If Licensor delivers an acceptable work-around, the severity classification will drop to a Severity 2.

3.2.2 Severity 2

A Severity 2 incident is defined as one that produces a detrimental situation in which the Covered Software is usable, but materially incomplete; performance (throughput or response) of the Covered Software degrades substantially such that there is a severe impact on use under reasonable loads; one or more mainline functions or commands is inoperable; or the use is otherwise significantly impacted.

3.2.2.1 Severity 2 RESPONSE

In the case of a Severity 2 incident, a qualified member of Licensor’s staff will respond by telephone or email as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event a response will be provided within eight (8) hours. Licensor will devote all reasonable resources and will use its best efforts to resolve Severity 2 problems within five (5) days. The resolution will be delivered to Licensee in the same format as Severity 1 problems. If Licensor delivers an acceptable work-around for a Severity 2 problem, the severity classification will drop to a Severity 3.

3.2.3 Severity 3

A Severity 3 incident is defined as one that produces an inconvenient situation in which the Covered Software is usable, but does not provide a function in the most convenient or expeditious manner, but the user suffers little or no significant impact.

3.2.3.1 Severity 3 RESPONSE

3.3 Maintenance Services

During the term of this Maintenance Agreement, Licensor will maintain the Covered Software by providing to Licensee any and all software updates and enhancements to the Covered Software (“Updates”) offered by Licensor under its general maintenance policies.

ARTICLE 6 ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT FEES

6.1 Maintenance and Support Fees

Unless otherwise specified in the Sales Order Form attached to the Master Software License Agreement, the Maintenance and Support Fees for the Maintenance and Support Services are calculated by multiplying the current list price of the supported license level (all base license and add-on Assignee licenses previously ordered by Licensee) by 20%.
